Activated stem cells in damaged lungs could be first step toward cancer
Stem cells that respond after a severe injury in the lungs of mice may be a source of rapidly dividing cells that lead to lung cancer, according to a team of American and British researchers. view more (2009-05-27)
LSUHSC research shows fish oil protects against diseases like Parkinson's
Dr. Nicolas Bazan, Director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence, Boyd Professor, and Ernest C. and Yvette C. Villere Chair of Retinal Degenerative Diseases Research at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, will present new research findings showing that an omega three fatty acid in the diet protects brain cells by preventing the misfolding... view more...

New 'Knock-Out' Gene Model Provides Molecular Clues to Breast Cancer
New insights into the role of estrogen receptor in mammary gland development may help scientists better understand the molecular origin of breast cancer, according to new research from the University of Cincinnati (UC). view more (2007-09-06)
Discovery of a mechanism that regulates cell movement
A study performed by researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), in collaboration with researchers at the Instituto de Biología Molecular of the CSIC, reveal a mechanism that controls the movement of cells in a tissue by regulating cell adhesion. view more (2008-07-21)
Fish oil may help protect against retinal degenerative diseases
A invited paper published in Trends in Neuroscience this week by Nicolas G. Bazan, MD, PhD, Boyd Professor and Director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, reports on the role that the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil play in protecting cells in the retina from degenerative diseases like retinitis... view more...

New research reveals how cranberry products prevent urinary tract infections
Chemicals present in cranberries-and not the acidity of cranberry juice, as previously thought-prevent infection-causing bacteria from attaching to the cells that line the urinary tract, as documented in a report published in Journal of Medicinal Food, a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. view more (2009-03-10)
Why a common treatment for prostate cancer ultimately fails
Some of the drugs given to many men during their fight against prostate cancer can actually spur some cancer cells to grow, researchers have found. The findings were published online this week in a pair of papers in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-08-22)
A new method of adult stem cell growth efficacious in treatment of disorders of the cornea
A new method of adult stem cell growth, designed in the Area of Cellular Therapy of the University Clinic (University of Navarra), has demonstrated its efficacy for its capacity to grow cornea stem cells. view more (2007-07-20)
U-M researchers identify stem cells in pancreatic cancer
University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have discovered the small number of cells in pancreatic cancer that are capable of fueling the tumor's growth. The finding is the first identification of cancer stem cells in pancreatic tumors. view more (2007-02-01)
Tumor cells that border normal tissue are told to leave
The thin, single-cell boundary where a tumor meets normal tissue is the most dangerous part of a cancer according to a new study by scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-01-11)
CSHL scientists identify and repress breast cancer stem cells in mouse tissue
By manipulating highly specific gene-regulating molecules called microRNAs, scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) report that they have succeeded in singling out and repressing stem-like cells in mouse breast tissue - cells that are widely thought to give rise to cancer. view more (2007-12-18)
Food With The Guts To Stand Up To Cancer
Cancers of the gut are one of the major causes of death from cancer, but a review published this week[1] shows that they are also amongst the most preventable through changes in diet. Of the 10 million new cases of cancer diagnosed in 2000, around 2.3 million were cancers of the digestive organs - pharynx, oesophagus, stomach or colorectum.... view more... (2004-07-22)
The vasculature emerges as a potential therapeutic target in treating ADPKD liver cysts
As part of an effort to develop effective medical therapies that block the progression of liver cyst growth in patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center have found that the liver cyst walls develop and maintain a vasculature as they grow out from the body... view more...

Short RNA strand helps exposed skin cells protect body from bacteria, dehydration and even cancer
Every minute, 30,000 of our outermost skin cells die so that we can live. When they do, new cells migrate from the inner layer of the skin to the surface of it, where they form a tough protective barrier. view more (2008-03-03)
Skin-like Tissue Developed from Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Dental and tissue engineering researchers at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts have harnessed the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to generate complex, multilayer tissues that mimic human skin and the oral mucosa (the moist tissue that lines the inside of the... view more...

Free radical scavenging is defective in periodontal (tooth loosening) disease
The capacity to mop up harmful oxygen free radicals seems to be reduced in people with periodontal disease, finds research in Molecular Pathology. Periodontal disease affects between 10 and 15% of people worldwide. A leading cause of tooth loss, it develops as a result of bacterial infection from a build-up of the sticky, colourless bacterial... view more... (2002-11-22)
Scripps Research Scientists Discover New Key to Pulmonary Edema in Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Physiology is sometimes a crossroads where many different paths converge. Such is the case with acute respiratory distress syndrome, a severe and often fatal condition also known as adult respiratory distress syndrome or simply "shock lung." view more (2005-06-30)
Can the tonsils influence oral HIV transmission?
Current research demonstrates that the tonsils may possess the necessary factors to act as a transmission site for the spread of HIV. view more (2007-07-26)
Old mystery solved, revealing origin of regulatory T cells that 'police' and protect the body
More than 150 years after the discovery of Hassall's corpuscles in 1849, the function of these round blobs of cells in the human thymus gland has now been explained. The answer, in turn, ends an intense hunt for the origin of regulatory T cells that has been under way for years. view more (2005-10-13)
